Richard Packard and Paul Rosen They say that those who can do, and those who can't, teach. I don't really believe that, but I can't argue with the fact that there are far more cooking classes out there than there are Michelin-star chefs. My point is, the ability to train under people who are at the top of your field is a rare occasion. Something to be cherished. At the ESCRS, you have that chance. At both the summer and winter meetings, the ESCRS organizes didactic cataract surgical lessons. Aimed at people at the start of their careers, these lessons lay the groundwork and teach you the basic skills you will need to become a good surgeon. At all these ESCRS courses, attendees can expect some of Europe’s best surgical teachers to walk you through the core concepts of cataract surgery. At this meeting in particular, you'll be in the capable hands of Richard Packard and Paul Rosen. Both are seasoned surgeons as well as accomplished teachers, and you'd be hard pressed to find better travel companions on your journey towards mastering cataract surgery. For this year's meeting in Athens, the course is divided into two days. Today's "In the Beginning: Learning to learn" course kicks off at 14.30 in Hall Skalkotas so join us for what should be a great session.
